Veterans like Joe Flacco and Carson Wins already signed elsewhere in free agency, leaving Jimmy Garoppolo and Kurt Cousins as top targets still on. The market Sean McBay made it clear on Monday he's pushing for a reunion with Garoppolo, who backed up Stafford the past two seasons and knows the system inside, out.
